Combine A Raspberry Pi With Google Calendar For A Smart Alarm Clock


If your job rquires you to get up at different times depending on the day, setting and resetting an alarm clock quickly gets annoying. Blogger Devon Bray was sick of dealing with alarm clocks, so he combined a Raspberry Pi with Google Calendar to make it easier to set up.

Bray connected the Raspberry Pi to a pair of computer speakers, and it plays a song anytime the appointment “wake” is in his Google Calendar. It’s accomplished with Google’s data APIs, and you can find the full instructions over on Bray’s site.
